Jan 2019 – Jan 2020

### Drive Systems Engineering Intern @ Tesla
Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 | Palo Alto, California
Simulated and analytically modeled Tesla's synchronous permanent magnet and induction motors to determine motor electrical parameters.

Carried out a research and development project to find solutions to mitigate electrically induced bearing damage due to rotor shaft voltages:
• Electrical circuit modelling using LTSPICE
• ANSYS (Maxwell 2D) and Matlab FEM modelling using motor geometry 
• Mechanical fixture design using SolidWorks
• Prediction of Reliability distributions using Python: Pandas, NumPy, Matplotlib and PySQL
• Motor testing using LabView and equipment including function generators, oscilloscopes and amplifiers

### Hardware Development Test & Analysis Intern @ Tesla
Jan 2018 – Jan 2018 | Palo Alto, California
Hardware development and reliability testing of the Model 3's high voltage systems including: drive inverters, battery components, and charging systems for automotive application
